Memorable Encounters with Filipina Beauty Queens

Your Roving Eye always makes it a point to have a photo memento with a beauty queen especially Boholana beauty queens when the opportunity presents itself.

You see, I reckoned since only a few share my avowed passion here in Bohol, I should make it as my mission in order to keep track with the lives of our beloved beauty queens and to create an archive of sorts and to be used for reference purposes in the near future.

As someone who has been actively involved in local pageantry whether as pageant emcee, judge, organizer or as publicist, I have amassed quite a few photos with these beauty queens.

Here are some of the most memorable:

1999 2015

MIRIAM QUIAMBAO. I first met Miriam Quiambao during the first TBTK back in July 1999 or less than two months after she placed 1st RU in the 1999 Miss Universe Pageant. Sixteen years later, our paths would cross again.

This time, at the 2015 Miss Beauche Intl Pageant held at the SMX in Mall of Asia

Miss Cebu winners Winonah Buot 2013 & Kris Tiffany Janson 2009

KRIS TIFFANY JANSON. I first met Kris Tiiffany Janson in 2009 when she just won the Miss Cebu title. We met again in 2014 after she was crowned Bb Pilipinas- Intercontinental. The meeting took place during the Miss Panglao Pageant where we both sat as judges. Last year, she was already Miss Intercontinental 2014 2nd RU when she graced the Mr. & Ms. Teen Loay Pageant as a judge along with Winonah Buot, Miss Cebu 2013

Bb Pilipinas beauties Joyce Ann Burton & Anna Maris Igpit

Eastwood, Quezon City, Dec 2013

JOYCE ANN BURTON. She is the quintessential Bb Pilipinas of my generation having won two national beauty titles; 1981 Miss Young Philippines and 1985 Bb Pilipinas- Universe. We became friends through her blogspot and the friendship was cemented when she accepted our invite to judge Miss Panglao 2012.We met again in December 2013 to discuss the relief efforts for the Bohol quake victims. Joining us was Bb Pilipinas World 2006 Anna Maris Igpit who took an active role in the relief efforts.

Six Miss Bohol titleholders during during the 2015 Miss Bohol Pageant.

Winners from 1951, 1988, 1992,2000, 2011 and 2012 came for the tribute
